curveCVCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The curveCVCtx command creates a new context for creating curves
by placing control vertices (CVs).

|
|
-preserveShape(-ps)
|
|
|
|
Set this flag to make the operation preserve the shape
|
|
-rational(-rl)
|
boolean
|
|

-refit(-rf)
|
|
|
|
Set this flag to refit the curve
|
|
-symmetry(-sm)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Specify if symmetry is to be used
|
|
-uniform(-un)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Should the curve use uniform parameterization?
|
|

// To create a new context that will create curves of degree 5:
curveCVCtx -degree 5 curveCVContext;
setToolTo curveCVContext;
// To query the degree of an existing context:
curveCVCtx -q -degree curveCVContext;
// To edit the degree of an existing context:
curveCVCtx -e -degree 7 curveCVContext;
